Hi Norbert,
Lukas told me to always use WAKom. It handles properly what you call
the "encoding stuff" :-) See
http://www.lukas-renggli.ch/blog/studenckifestwal for an example.
The only problems are:
- you won't have a meaningful result if you send #size to your strings.
- you won't be able to read the data through Squeak inspectors.
- you can't use string literals containing accented characters
directly in your Squeak code.
The rest should just work.
